Well unless you have the desire to tune an efi system the carb will make more power for you. However a well tuned efi system can't be beat as far as throttle response, cold starts, fuel efficiency, etc.. In the case of you or I where we don't have wide band o2 sensors and dyno access, then the old carb will do the trick. Have fun, let me/this board know how your swap goes. Do you have any pix of your car?

Well I will say this, the paint is definitely different, or at least I have yet to see that color around here. I like it though, not that you care, haha. Looks like a great car to build up. Keep me updated on your progress, if you have the interest, and let me know what that thing ends up running in the 1/4 or 1/8 should you take it to the drag strip. Good luck with your t-bird, later
